[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-7826) Improve Hbase Thrift v1 to return results in sorted order

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7826?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13752792#comment-13752792 ] 

Wouter Bolsterlee commented on HBASE-7826:
------------------------------------------

Is it really safe to convert a previously required field to an optional one? Parsers using the old definition file might unconditionally expect the field when handling input generated using the newer definitions.

> Hbase natively stores columns sorted based on the column qualifier. A scan is guaranteed to return sorted columns. The Java API works fine but the Thrift API is broken. Hbase uses TreeMap that ensures that sort order is maintained. However Hbase thrift specification uses a simple Map to store the data. A map, since it is unordered doesn't result in columns being returned in a sort order that is consistent with their storage in Hbase.
